Elkin, Jr., chairman of the legislative committee of the Georgia Druggists’ Association, the passage of Tippins bill would seriously crip ple the legitimate drug business in this state. It weuld be a serious menace, he declares, to health and comfort because it would render im possible the sale of many drugs and preparations regarded as essential. Notonly will it interfere with the sale of many necessary drugs, he says, but will break up the sale of many innocent proprietary toilet articles, which must contain more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. Antiseptics, flavoring ex tracts, vanilla, listerine, simple elixir and a great many things regarded as household necessaries are among the things which Dr. Elkin says the Tippins bill would bar.
